EMPLOYEE BULLETIN
THE HAZARD OF ENERGY-ABSORBING
BUMPER SYSTEM
Under the provisions of Federal Motor Vehicle
Standard No 215, all 1974 vehicles are required
to have "energy-absorbing bumpers."
When involved in a collision, this bumper
system can be extremely hazardous t-o---pgr-s-ennel-
unless safety precautions are observed. Some
of these bumpers are spring-loaded and after
impact may release with extreme force. There
have been several reported instances of serious
injury to patrolmen attempting to separate
vehicles.
As a of t precaution s
attempt fl` to !eparate such vehicpleswhichhhave locked
bumpers or to repair a compressed energy-absorbing
system. The services of an automobile mechanic
should be sought.
An additional hazard exists when vehicles
with such bumpers are involved in accidents and
catch on fire. The oil in the shock absorber
system, when heated, may expand rapidly causing
an explosion.
